The Rooted Womb

Two years ago you entered this world at home, fierce and soft all at once — eyes wide open like you already remembered where you came from.

My sweet Ffion, watching you grow has been one of the greatest honors of my life. You are sunlight in human form, old soul and wildflower, laughter and resilience braided together.

Happy 2nd birthday to my little moon girl. 🌿

“Still, what I want in my life
is to be willing
to be dazzled—
to cast aside the weight of facts

and maybe even
to float a little
above this difficult world.
I want to believe I am looking

into the white fire of a great mystery.
I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing

-that the light is everything—

that it is more than the sum
of each flawed blossom rising and fading.

And I do.”

~ Mary Oliver
